Scripting News Valid

I'd like an AI bot that could do this. I open my browser to a page on netflix.com. It scans the page, figures out what movies are there, then it searches metacritic for each and presents me a list of all shows with a rating above a certain score. I know the streamers don't want us to have this info (I don't really understand why) but I really want it. BTW, they say the Green Knight is fantastic. Got the tip from a NYT email, but even they didn't say what the rating was, or even what their own reviewer said. Had to do this thing manually. Do they have any user-oriented creative people in the mix anywhere in this system??

Bluesky's future for devs

There's a conference in Vancouver this weekend for people who are developing apps for Bluesky. They have a protocol they are proud of called AT Proto. A sexy name, but imho it doesn't do anything that Twitter's API did 20 years ago. So why do people hope it'll make a differe...

Linked - Apple Maps will have Ads

Naively I’ve had this belief that Google was the data company and used Ads on that data to make money, whilst Apple were the software and hardware company that made money by selling at a premium for quality. I believe that users who pay the Apple One bundle should be free o...

Log: Saturday March 28th

I think this is my first blog post about blog posting?

Blog posts (well, going forward, I'll probably merge all the old stuff like please download me etc, together here later too) have their very own page now too! I'll keep this log page, but posts now also have permalinks, like this:

/blog/2026/3/28/

..is the link to today's post. I've already built a one-post-per-day throttle into this blog with the day-resolution permalinks, which ends up meaning I tend to edit and continuously publish the post (if I'm posting at all) throughout the day to the web, and then publish the RSS the next day, or when I don't care to edit anymore!

RSS 2.0 as a network

Yesterday I hatched an idea of a demo program that turns RSS 2.0 feeds with rssCloud into a WhatsApp-type communicator. I called it rss.network, and asked ChatGPT to draw a prototype. How I did it. I pasted a screen shot into ChatGPT and wrote: "i want you to draw me some...

Today's RSS cleanup

Did some work on my RSS feed this morning. There was only one source:account element in my RSS feed and it was to a Twitter account I lost control of a few weeks ago, the account I had there since 2006, that at one time was in the top 10 accounts on Twitter. I changed the ...

text we see on a webpage

Two years ago I asked this blood-chilling question:

what if the text I see is not the same text you see in the same url?

This is now happening. Google patented a technology that rewrites webpages tailored to each individual user.

Beeper + RSS, please

When I heard about Matt's product Beeper I thought wow what if that were on the RSS network.

I think RSS should be here. Makes sense doesn't it? Why not one open independent format from nowhere that no objects to you using and will not do anything ever to turn you off. Maybe it's that RSS isn't playing hard to get? :-)

When I heard about Matt's product Beeper I thought wow if only that were on the RSS network. Think different, RSS isn't just for news, it's for everything. For a chat program that's trying to support all protocols, why not take a shortcut, immediately connect to all kinds of insanely great things that blow peoples' minds. RSS is going places, help us help.
